ChC £OU)Cll Tne establishin g of a school at Lowell for thor- 

TVvtil^ C^KaaI ougn instruction in the theory and practical art of 
* manufacturing all fibres known to the textile industry, 
although proposed early in 1891, was not determined 
upon until the organization, methods and scope of such foreign 
schools, especially in England, France, Switzerland, Germany and 
Russia, had been carefully studied, and their permanence and im- 
portance to the textile interests of those countries made clearly ap- 
parent. 

The success attending the Textile School which is developing at 
Philadelphia, and the benefits derived by the industry from the 
Lowell School of Applied Design, established and maintained at 
Boston by Augustus Lowell, Esq., who is one of the representatives 
of the State of Massachusetts in our corporation, left no room for 
doubt that American conditions were favorable to the establishment 
of, in fact imperatively demanded, a textile school here. 

The "Trustees of the Lowell Textile School" are incorporated 

under a special act of the Massachusetts legislature, ' ' for the purpose 

of establishing and maintaining a Textile School for instruction in the 

theory and practical art of textile and kindred branches of industry." 

The incorporators, with but two exceptions, are gentlemen repre- 



senting either as president, director, treasurer, agent or superin- 
tendent, the management of great textile corporations of Lowell, 
Lawrence and vicinity in the Merrimack valley, with an aggregate 
capital of over $25,000,000. By the terms of the By-laws, at least 
three-fourths of the Trustees must be "persons actually engaged 
in or connected with textile or kindred manufactures." This insures 
the practical character of the management and instruction. 

The school is located at Lowell, Massachusetts, the " Mother 
Textile City of America," the city and state affording financial aid 
in its establishment, and the manufacturers of New England being 
equally liberal in their contributions. The advantages of the loca- 
tion of the school at a textile centre where every commercial fibre 
anters into the products, the student thus being directly in touch 
with the industry and the management thereof, will be apparent. 

The Trustees have been fortunate in obtaining the services of 
Christopher P. Brooks as Director of the School, a gentleman of 
large experience as an instructor and examiner of English schools 
and in the equipping of foreign and American mills. 




CI)C WOrk The object of the school is to give instruction in the 

Of tlK $Cl)00L practical knowledge necessary in the cotton, woolen, 
worsted and other textile industries, in sciences and art 
as applied to these industries, and in the processes and methods for 
the purpose of improving any special trade, or of introducing new 
branches of industry. It is essentially a trade school, and the whole 
plan provides for such instruction only as will be found useful in tex- 
tile trades. 

Science and art will be taught, but not with the object of educa- 
ting professional and scientific men, but with a view to industrial and 
commercial applications ; but the school offers to graduates of univer- 
sities and scientific institutions an opportunity of technical instruction 
in the practical application of certain branches of science. 

The equipment of the school consists of high grade machinery 
with all latest improvements, specially built to afford facilities for all 
kinds of experimental work, and of such variety as is seldom found 
in any one textile mill. When all the machinery that is already ar- 
ranged for is installed, the school will have a more extensive equip- 
ment of machinery and plant than any other existing textile school 
either in America, Europe or Asia. 

The staff of lecturers and instructors will consist of men who in 



addition to their special experience in textile school work have been 
for years practically engaged in mill work as manager, designer, or in 
other capacities, and it is the object of the trustees to give technical 
instruction that shall be equal to that of the best European schools, 
and at the same time of a thoroughly practical nature. 

The operation of the school will be in three directions : — 

First, Day Classes. These are especially intended for the instruc- 
tion of young men whose intention it is to enter the business of textile 
manufacturing in any branch, and who have not been engaged in a 
textile trade, or who have already been engaged in such business and 
wish to improve their knowledge and opportunities, and who are able 
to devote their entire time to study. The complete collection of 
machinery enables every process to be practically illustrated. Certain 
of the evening classes will be considered as part of the course of the 
day students, especially in subjects for which facilities do not exist for 
day instruction. 

The course is intended to extend over three years, and the instruc- 
tion given this term will be preliminary to further instruction in two 
succeeding winters. It is optional whether a student attends the full 
course of three years, but this is strongly recommended. 

The second branch of the school work is intended to give thor- 
ough evening instruction to those who are engaged during the day in 
mills and work shops in the Merrimack valley, to enable those who 



wish it to perfect their knowledge of the branches in which they work, 
to acquire knowledge of other processes than those in which they are 
engaged in the day time, and, in the course of several winters, a 
thorough technical education at a low cost, and without interfering 
with their daily labor. 

The third means of encouraging textile instruction will be by a 
course of popular lectures, of which details are given on page 31. 
These lectures will be given by recognized authorities in thebranches 
of which they treat, and afford an opportunity to the students in the 
school, and inhabitants of Lowell and district, who do not care to 
take a regular course, to attend popular illustrated textile lectures. 
Students who are able are recommended to take a day or evening 
course in addition to attending the above lectures. 

ECCtUfCrS fltld ^n a ^ e sta ^ °f experienced lecturers and instructors 
ItlStrUCtOfS* wl ^> w ' tn Professor C. P. Brooks as principal lecturer, 
capably represent each department of textiles. 




BUl1dlt1^$ aild Tne school building is capacious and well equipped 
€C|Uit)t1Ktlt* with elevators, electric light and steam heat, and while 
arranged especially for school purposes, yet maintains 
many features of a textile mill in being of mill construction through- 
out, and having the sprinklers, electric motors, shafting and belting, 
electric and gas lighting, humidifiers, all installed in the most ap- 
proved manner, and in some instances having each room equipped 
differently to give students an opportunity of comparing different 
systems. 

The equipment of machinery is arranged so as to be the most 
complete of its kind in the world for textile educational purposes, 
the machinery and plant already arranged for is of a value of $50,000, 
and is such as will enable raw cotton or wool to be treated in the 
school at every process until it becomes a woven fabric. The fact 
that there has been, or will be in the near future, placed in the school 
machinery from the shops of the following firms is satisfactory proof 
of its excellence : 

The Lowell Machine Shop, of Lowell, Mass. 

The Whitin Machine Co., of Whitinsville, Mass. 

The Mason Machine Works, of Taunton, Mass. 

The Crompton Loom Works, of Worcester, Mass. 

14 



The Atwood Machine Co., Stonington, Conn. 
Davis & Furber Machine Co., North Andover, Mass. 
Torrance Mfg. Co., Harrison, N.J. 
G. S. Harwood & Sons, Boston, Mass. 
The Knowles Loom Works, of Worcester, Mass. 
The Kitson Machine Co., of Lowell, Mass. 
George Draper & Sons, of Hopedale, Mass. 
T. C. Entwistle, of Lowell, Mass. 

Other leading makers of high grade machinery will also be fully 
represented. 

T^Ag The fee for the day classes is $50.00 for the term (from 

February to June, 1897), and there are no other charges, 
excepting that students must provide their own books, stationery 
and tools, and pay for any breakage or damage that they cause. 

The above fee also includes attendance at certain evening classes, 
which form part of the day students' course, and also, by permission 
of the director of the school, free admission to any evening classes in 
which there is accommodation, and which the day student desires to 
attend. 

In the evening school students may take up any subject, or group 
of subjects, at fees from fifty cents to $5.00, details of which will be 
found on pages 27 to 30. 

The evening school fees include the privileges of using the library 
and reading-room, and of attending certain extra lectures free of 

15 



charge, and there is no further payment to be made beyond the spec- 
ified fees, excepting that students have to provide their own books, 
stationery and tools, and pay for breakages. 

The fees in the evening classes are nominal, and are intended to 
defray little more than cost of material used by the students. 

The fees are strictly payable in advance, and are in no case 
returnable except by vote of the trustees. 

€lltT(JI1CC Applications will not be considered if candidates are 

€X(Htlit1(lti011$ under fourteen years of age, but students may be of either 
(Mid €ll$ll)ilitP sex anc * of any nationality. Those who have completed an 
Of $ttldCtlt$» ordinary grammar school course or high school course, 
and possess certificates to that effect, will be received^n 
the school as students without examination, but all others will be ex- 
pected to sit at an entrance examination, the date of which will be 
announced later. To pass this examination candidates for either day 
or evening classes will be required to possess a knowledge of English 
composition and arithmetic, including fractions. A good elementary 
education, combined with a knowledge of drawing, either freehand 
or mechanical, is of great assistance, and in the case of would-be 
evening students in the Textile school, it will be advisable in some 
cases to attend a year at the Lowell Evening High school and Drawing 
school prior to entering the Evening Textile school. The ultimate 
success in the latter school will probably be greater than if the stu- 
dent enters without such instruction. 



^ 



The Director will be pleased to advise candidates as to the best 
course to take, and to give an opportunity for consultation on this 
and other points will be present at the school on Thursday and Fri- 
day, January 21 and 22, from 2 to 5 and 7 to 9 P. M. 

Day students who are deficient in knowledge of drawing, may 
study same in the evening, as explained on page 26. 

€Xani!liatl0t1$* Test examinations will be held at mid-term, and a final 
examination at the end of the session. The results of the 
final examination will be considered in the grading of the 
student at the end of his three years' course in the school. 

Students from a distance, requiring rooms and board in the city, 
may if they desire it, select same from a list of houses which is kept 
at the school. These houses have been visited and approved by the 
Director, or other representative of the school. The cost of rooms 
and board in a good district is from $4 per week upwards. 

COnClUCt* Day students wil1 be expected to attend all lectures, 

classes and demonstrations of practical work, except when 
permission to be absent has been obtained from the Direc- 
tor. In case of sickness, or other unavoidable absence, written ex- 
planation must be sent. When specially required by parents, cases 
of absence will be reported daily. 

Books will be prescribed for entry of lecture notes and other 
exercises, and will be periodically examined by the lecturers. Day 

17 



students will be expected to spend two hours daily out of school 
hours, in home study and entering up notes and exercises. The care 
and accuracy with which these books are kept will be considered in 
the final examinations. 

In the case of either day or evening students, irregular attendance, 
lack of punctuality, neglect of either school or home work, disorderly 
conduct, or profane or indecent language, will be considered good 
and sufficient reasons for the removal of a student from the school, 
and for the forfeiture of all school privileges, if the President of the 
school so decides. 

£lfcr<irP» The school library is supplied with all the leading tex- 

tile books and with works dealing with sciences, art, or 
industries allied to the textile trades. The leading textile 
trade papers, both European and American, will be obtained. The 
library will be open to duly qualified students of the school through- 
out the day and evening. 

ECtlStl) Of Tne fi rst session of the day school will consist of one 

$C$$IOt1* term on ly» from February ist, 1897, to June 3d, 1897. In 

the succeeding years, it is intended to have a session 
from October to June, divided into two terms. 

A schedule will be prepared showing how the school 
hours will be divided and the amount of time to be devoted to each 
subject. 

18 



The students will be required to attend at such hours as the 
Director shall, from time to time determine, and prepare such home 
exercises as are required by the Lecturer or Instructor in each 
department. 

The register will be marked at the beginning of each lecture or 
demonstration and reports made periodically of students' attendance. 

The above applies to the day classes only. 

The evening classes will be held from February 8th to April 30th, 
and at the hours named on pages 27 to 30. 

The school will be closed on Washington's Birthday, February 
22d, two or three days in April, and on Decoration Day, May 30th. 




(lC tlC fill ^11 raw stoc ^ anc * varn w * u De Provided by the school 

and all the productions of the school remain, or become, 
the property of the Trustees, except by special arrange- 
ment, but each student will be allowed to retain specimens of yarn or 
fabrics that he has produced, if mounted and tabulated as prescribed 
by the Director, and facilities will be given for the preparation of 
collection of such fabrics as are produced in the school, with all 
instructions for their manufacture. It is understood that the Trustees 
may retain in the school such other specimens of student's work 
as the Director may determine. 

Lock boxes will be provided, free of charge, for the use of the 
students, sufficiently capacious to contain clothing, books and tools. 

No books, instruments, or other property of the school, will be 
loaned to students, or allowed to be removed from the premises. 

Facilities will be given for visits by day students to New England 
mills and works during the session. 

Text books will be recommended by the teachers, and students 
are expected to purchase these, and also such tools and instruments 
as may from time to time be required for their own use. The cost of 
these, for day students, will be from $10.00 to $15.00, and for evening 
students, from $2.00 upwards, according to the subjects studied.

26 



jir$t yC3f The plan of evening instruction includes all the subjects 
vOUr$C^ taught in the day classes, with several additional ones, but 

€fXfttt1$ as the time at the disposal of those who work in the mill 
Cl3$$C$» is limited, there is no necessity or even possibility of taking 
all the subjects in one session. Certain groupings of sub- 
jects have been arranged, and it is strongly recommended that those 
who have the time to devote take up a group and not a single subject. 
The fees charged for each subject include the whole course in that 
subject, and are arranged so low in most cases as to merely cover 
cost of material used.

It is proposed to organize several other courses of 
lectures, including processes connected with the textile in- 
dustries, such as cotton dyeing, bleaching and finishing, 
woolen dyeing, woolen and worsted cloth finishing, hosiery manu- 
facture, steam and water power and transmission of power. 

The fee for such of these as can be arranged, will be fifty cents the
